How exciting: Google Maps now gives you the option for Street View when you’re looking at Austin. That means you can browse the city by looking at panoramic photographs taken by a magical Google truck or something.

Go play! Keep an eye out for funny stuff — lots of people have things going on in Street View for other cities, like drug deals and giant pumpkins.
